I was playing around with the Ram configurator and noticed this little idiosyncrasy. Two of the more distinctive features and you can’t have both. The m ulti function tailgate also limits your colors to grayscale plus red and no two tone even though the tailgate is always a single color.

Hopefully this will change for the 2020 model year because it is oddly limiting.

I was pretty sure the FastLaneTruck guys had a 2020 ecodiesel with both split tailgate and Rambox....

I thought I saw that too, that's why I was so thrown off. It's also only Laramie or higher on the 2019 configurator. Ram is being quite clever this generation, they must have just limited the tailgate for the first year

Hmmm, the split tailgate requires quite a bit of reinforcement at the back of the bed, to the point I’m not sure if you can put a truck tool box back there.

You would think with that limitation, they would include the option to have the truck boxes as well for all trim levels.

I know that quite a few owners are having issues with their 2019 truck boxes not sitting flush with the top of the bed.  Luckily I avoided that option on my Rebel.

Which option gets you the 6.4 V8? Ram has stepped up the game in every way but hav n’t had a new V8 since 2003. That 5.7 is old enough to drive.

You can probably get it, but would have to order it.

You have to order through the dealer, the configurator is broken for that and a few other things. For instance it doesn’t tell you by adding the tow package you lose 360 cameras on the 2019s.

Honest answer, 6.4 is the base engine in 2500s.

I’m aware of that, but I don’t think buying a 2500 should be necessary to get a decent gas motor. Ford has  five different gas options, plus a diesel. GM has four gas engines and a diesel.
